HIS Hawaii Launches a New Mālama Hawai‘i Tour "Waikiki Walk with Aloha" Under the Partnership with Hawaii Tourism Japan

HONOLULU, HAWAII, UNITED STATES, March 21, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hawaii HIS Corporation (“HIS Hawaii”) will launch on April 1, 2024 a new tour called “Waikiki Walk with Aloha” under the partnership with Hawaii Tourism Japan (“HTJ”), as an experience-based service promoting “Mālama Hawai‘i”, a slogan for responsible tourism.

Walks for “Waikiki Walk with Aloha” will be guided by either a lecturer from the HTJ learning site “Aloha Program”, Hawaiian history and culture specialist, or an ocean environment curator, who will take the time to share Hawaiian history, culture, and current issues within Hawaii. There are many unsung Hawaiian history, culture, and environmental stories even in Waikiki, which is a well-visited place by repeating Hawaii visitors. This tour aims to promote and cultivate Japanese tourists’ understanding, enabling them to discover further charm of Hawaii.

It is important to increase awareness and understanding of “Mālama Hawai‘i” (which means “to take care of Hawaii”) in promoting responsible tourism, where caring for Hawaii’s natural resources, traditions, and culture equally among visitors is a key. With support and cooperation from HTJ, HIS Hawaii will consider the respective roles and responsibilities of the local community (residents), tourists, and tourism workers, to focus and continue efforts on nature conservation, cultural perpetuity, and the local community. Furthermore, we will support Hawaii’s tourism dependent economy and aim toward building a sustainable community while maintaining and strengthening Hawaii’s brand through this partnership. Essentially, we will promote regenerative tourism to Hawaii as we strive to improve the satisfaction of both the tourists and residents, as well as to preserve a better future for our islands.
